0.15: Unforked Open Z-Wave, templated service calls, extended scene support and PEP257 compliance.

Two weeks has past so here is 0.15! We have been focussing a lot on quality. Making sure the system is more stable and reliable. I usually try to highlight one cool thing in the release notes but this release has 4 exciting announcements!

@fabaff has upgraded the codebase to follow the PEP257 documentation standard.

@partofthething has migrated us to use the main Python Open Z-Wave library instead of our forked version.

To make our automations more powerful, @persandstrom added the option to use templates to dynamically create service calls. This works for automation, Alexa, universal media player, template switch. Learn more.

@MartinHjelmare has upgraded our scene support to now support all built-in services and components.

Breaking Changes

Media Player: Attributes to call service play_media has been renamed to
media_content_type and media_content_id, to match the corresponding media
player state attributes. This change affects automations, scripts and scenes.
